New WOW signal in Puerto Rico?

It seems that on the anniversary of the original wow signal some researchers were transmitting messages asking for contact. Did they get it? mysteriousuniverse.org...

Josh says: “An independent group of researchers in Puerto Rico believe they possibly made contact with ‘beings from elsewhere’ last
Friday, August 15, 2014, 37th anniversary of the mysterious ‘WOW! Signal’ captured by SETI.” The “Arecibo Project,” led by Joshua P.
Warren, Director of the Bermuda Triangle Research Base, spent the day transmitting radio messages into outer space from Arecibo, Lajas, and other
parts of the island, asking ET to appear around certain GPS coordinates as a live webcam streamed footage of the general location. A variety of
anomalies were captured on camera, including a “saucer-shaped object” that appeared and which then shot straight up into the sky, accompanied by a
strange, high-pitched tone. Warren’s team compared that tone to the famed WOW! Signal, and say it is so similar they think the UFO possibly sent
this signal to them as a sign of successful communication. “We believe the UFO may have sent us the same type of signal that came from space, and
was recorded by SETI, 37 years ago,” says Josh. He adds: “This was a complete surprise. Though it was picked up via a webcam microphone, and not a
broad dish like SETI had, our analysis thus far has shown it is essentially a demodulated signal from the WOW! transmission turned into
audio.”

We will be discussing this tonight On Into the Fringe on ATS Live Radio. Tune in and Call in to discuss this interesting story with us.

Greetings, Our Visitors from Afar, I am George Noory, host of Coast to Coast AM, and friendly ambassador for millions of Earth beings.

On this date, in Earth time, on August 15, 1977, you attempted to send a message to us. We are now proud to acknowledge that message and respond. I
represent those who want to rise above the challenges of our civilizations and enjoy the cosmos in mutual exploration. I speak on behalf of Earth
beings who believe the time has come for our people to connect with your people in order to learn and live in harmony.
As a sign of your cooperation, to share this date as the birth of a new era of tranquil contact, I humbly and sincerely ask you to appear today, to
our people, in the skies, around the GPS coordinates: North 18 degrees, 1 minute and 385 seconds and West 67 degrees, 10 minutes and 454 seconds.
We also ask you to increase your communication and enlightenment with all in the coming days. In peace, harmony, and goodwill for all, thank you.www.areciboproject.com...

1. The Wow! signal was a signal received by SETI at Ohio State university.

3. These people are not actually using Arecibo Observatory's planetary radar to broadcast their message. Nor was the original Wow signal picked up
there.

What they seem to be doing is asking for ham radio operators to broadcast their messages into space. Few ham radio operators would have any
transmitter powerful enough to reach the Moon much less interstellar space.

4. It seems like Joshua P. Warren is doing the whole SETI experiment a disservice by associating it once again with UFOs. Why, I don't know. It
doesn't benefit either really. There are constructive things which could bridge the two worlds (Dr. Peter Sturrock advocated a dialog between the UFO
and SETI crowds) but Warren seems to be going for sensationalism over substance by misinterpreting a photo of a bug or bird as response to some
amateur radio guys transmitting a "message" to would-be aliens....

If you'd like I'd be happy to come on your show to discuss this and clear up any confusion.

I still find it funny we think we can communicate with them this is not star trek we don't have universal translators. Hell we can't even understand a
bunch of languages from this planet how we going to decipher one from another solar system. They could talk like old languages that use clicks. Not
like et is going to land hear and speak English or any of our languages like on TV

It would be believable if we could talk to any monkey or ape we know Apes have there own language because we teach them sign language and then can
communicate but how will we do this with aliens. For all we know that noise was them beaming use the knowledge of the galaxy but we don't have the
tech to understand

Again, all SETI is looking for is artificiality. Not necessarily communications.

That said, scientists at the SETI institute have been at the forefront of work in Dolphin and other inter-species communication research:

They could talk like old languages that use clicks.

And those clicks can be interpreted through the use of information theory. It wouldn't be easy and would take a lot of computing power but it could
possibly be done.

We probably have been teaching human languages to any nearby extraterrestrial civilizations which care to take the trouble to pay attention to
our television broadcasts. These broadcasts continue out into space, and with sufficient technology can be properly received at stellar distances.
